“If I speak God’s Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, “Jump,” and it jumps, but I don’t love, I’m nothing.”  —Paul the Apostle

Communicating truth may be black and white. However, to someone who is blind, how can we describe the beauty of a sunset, the smile on the face of a laughing child, or the color of tropical ocean? The truth is a California sunset, a child’s smile, and the Pacific ocean is difficult to describe to someone who doesn’t have a point of reference.

Similarly, God’s grace and love is almost indescribable to someone who is spiritually blind.

When describing Truth (truth with a capital T), we must communicate in L-O-V-E. If we have not love, like Paul says, we have nothing.

  • Have you tried sharing Truth without love? What happened?
  • When you spoke gently in love, what was the outcome?
